Gorilla playsets are made from cedar from ‘certified’ forests. The cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect damage and has been sealed in the factory beforehand. Assembly averages 30-40 hours with 2 or more people based on consumer reviews. The Playset arrives on a large pallet, this should be considered when being delivered.

Unlike Metal swingsets like Lifetime products, the Gorilla requires regular maintenance. Gorilla strongly encourages you to check all of the hardware, such as nuts and bolts, twice monthly for tightening. Also check swings, chains and slides for cracks or deterioration. You should also check regularly for rust and chipped paint on the metal components. Because the playset is made primarily out of wood, there is also a need to check often for splinters, large cracks, and decayed wood components, as well as a need to re-stain the wood annually. And they also encourage you to check for damaged equipment components like hand holds and guardrails.

Gorilla Playsets was founded in 1992 with the desire to create ready to assemble playsets using quality wood components, and durable accessories at an affordable price. Their playset designers have many years of combined experience designing safe, innovative, and sturdy playsets.

Though a quality playset, please consider the maintenance and delivery/ assembly time and requirements before purchasing. We gave the Gorilla Blue Ridge Mountaineer Playset our #6 rating based on the high quality wood used, play features, warranty, and maintenance requirements.
